Thanksgiving Reviews
It all concludes in a denouement that implies that Roth isn't done with the holiday forever—and, hey, if a sequel comes along, I'd be down for seconds.

It's a fun movie to see with a crowd.
Full Review | Original Score: 7.5/10 | Dec 1, 2023
This does what it does really well, and I had a good time.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 1, 2023
It’s easily one of Roth’s best horror banquets — gory, ridiculous and over the top.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 27, 2023
Thanksgiving serves up the gorily delicious goods.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 23, 2023
It might taste good for a bite or two, but Eli Roth’s “Thanksgiving” isn’t a full meal.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 22, 2023
The opening vision of retail hell proves to be the best horror sequence. The later murders are just basic ghoulish fun and rarely have a Thanksgiving theme.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 20, 2023
The ingredients are absolutely familiar, but what makes the whole recipe satisfying is the sheer amount of gruesome fun Roth manages to have with the concept.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 20, 2023
It checks off a lot of boxes that have been missing from too many genre entries today. Shock value? Check. Gore? Big time.

Thanksgiving is less a movie than a messy attempt to coast off an oldie-but-goodie one-off without adding anything to the party. It can 100 percent go stuff itself.

If all you want to do is watch an assortment of teenagers and others get carved up in garish ways, Thanksgiving certainly gets the job done.
| Nov 17, 2023
No originality and no thrills but enough stomach-churning gore to keep the scaremongers happy.
| Original Score: 0/4 | Nov 17, 2023
You can’t have well-done social satire without follow-through, and Roth ultimately isn’t aiming his darts where he should be.
| Nov 17, 2023
By the time the big reveal comes along, it’s almost beside the point. The audience, so numbed by the gore, is likely to barely care who indeed did it.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 17, 2023
For giddy gore-hounds, Roth’s Thanksgiving is a bloody feast to savour.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 17, 2023
Served hot, Roth’s Thanksgiving is so good you’ll lick it off your fingers… or someone else’s.
| Original Score: A- | Nov 17, 2023
Thanksgiving is dull and drawn out, and Roth's wry, sick sense of humor is stretched bare across a series of characters as thin as watery gravy.
| Original Score: D+ | Nov 16, 2023
It's a memorable addition to the pantheon of great slasher openings, and reveals two essential lists: one of potential killers, and one of seemingly inevitable victims, plus the clear if not overly memorable final girl in Jessica (Verlaque).
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 16, 2023
While calling it Roth’s best film may not carry the most weight, “Thanksgiving” easily affirms that when his script isn’t simply a pile of guts, he can be a wicked good entertainer.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 16, 2023
Thanksgiving is a slasher for today, slickly made, coolly mean, and with a satiric bite.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 16, 2023
